I cooked it on the stove and mixed red potatoes and baking potatoes (had them both on-hand), added salt/pepper/garlic powder, extra cheese & bacon, had leftover ham so I cut up pieces and threw them in, corn/carrots/celery/onions, etc. Turned out pretty good but I agree with everyone else (a little runny for my taste); I would advise cutting down the chicken broth to maybe half the can and see how it turns out...But other than that, it was pretty good!! Served it with half grilled ham/cheese sandwich. Yummy!

I used 5 small potatoes, 4 slices turkey bacon and I just added milk and broth until it looked right; probably about a cup and a half of each. I also used maybe a 1/4 packet of green onion dip, since I didn't have any onions, and 1/4 packet of ranch seasoning... maybe it was one of those that made it salty. I will definitely make it again, but with actual onions instead of the dip, and maybe without the ranch packet, or just a tsp or so...

My family was "under the weather" so I decided to make this recipe.My family was "under the weather" so I decided to make this recipe. It was great. The only things I did different is I used eveporated milk and I left out the potato peal. I changed the milk becaused we were all in need of some "comfort" food! The peal just did not look inviting to me. The soup was WONDERFUL!! There was not one person in my family that did not enjoy it. As a mater of fact I have made it 4 times since then and have shared the recipe with 7 or 8 friends also. WONDERFUL!

I agree with the other person who commented and use salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Putting in the microwave will not just do as far as getting the potatoes tender. You might have to do a combination of both microwave and stove (that's what I did). Overall my kids loved it and I would make it again. Oh and you do have to used double the ingredients. I used about 15 potatoes so you will need extra of everything.

Would not recommend.Would not recommend. Only thing i liked is that it was easy to do using the microwave. However, Mashing the potatoes gave it a strange texture that none of my family cared for...we much rather prefer the milk/creamy soup with cubed potatoes. Also it was very bland...Had to add salt/pepper to taste but it still did not give it enough flavor. Would not recommend this recipe for anyone who has potato soup before, this is just as the name...taste like a loaded mashed potato...just pureed.

I found it to take longer than the recipe said.I found it to take longer than the recipe said. I was worried alittle bit by what the potatoes looked like in the soup after the 6 minutes. It took an addtional 20 minutes and I was ok with that. You will know when the potatoes are done, when you use the masher. My whole family loved it and luckily I made a second batch and they at that all up too! I used reduced sodium chicken broth and fat free milk and it did not take away from the taste at all. It had lots of flavor.

Very good soup.Very good soup. I added a few handfuls of potato flakes to the soup to thicken it. My kids loved this soup and wanted more, so I will double the recipe next time. Very quick and easy. I was able to do some prep ahead of time and at dinner time, only spent 10 minutes heating it up. Potatoes can be microwaved ahead of time, chop green onions, and shred cheese. Also can make a salad ahead of time, and then dinner is on the table in 10 minutes.

My family loved it!My family loved it! I made two batches so we could have some for lunches. I didn't follow the recipe, though. In on batch, I used about 2-3 lbs of potatos, and boiled them like you would for mashed potatoes, then added one can of chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups of milk. Then 2 green onions and extra bacon and a handful of cheddar cheese. It would have been very thin if I used all the liquid and I did it all on the stovetop.
